... to radiotherapy (p = 0.001). These data are the first indication of a positive correlation between Gp96 expression levels and radiosensitivity and 5-year survival rate. Gp96 might serve as a novel candidate marker for predicting the long-term prognostic outcome of NPC. Gp96 Nasopharyngeal carcinoma...

Methods: Nine...

...Toshiyuki Kokatsu; Mamoru Tsukuda We report a case of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) accompanied by hyponatremia and polyuria which was induced by tumor invasion into the pituitary gland. Magnetic resonance imaging showed the pituitary gland pushed upward by NPC. Hypopituitarism due...

Vosteen Four nasopharyngeal carcinomas (NPC) with positive Epstein-Barr virus serology were successfully grafted into athymic mice. Tumor growth could be maintained up to the 22nd passage. Strong...

...T. Takimoto; H. Ishiguro; R. Umeda; H. Ogura; M. Hatano We have studied the induction of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-specific antigens in nasopharyngeal carcinoma hybrid cells by treatment with the tumor promotor 12–0-tetrade-canoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and n-butyric...
